Many thanks, Ivanhoe Archers.
________
Ivanhoe Archery Club has grown significantly in last 4 years, to become the second largest archery club in the Leicester & Rutland region.
We have (80+ members) and is a member of Archery GB On Target club development programme.
We have developed a reputation as a fun club that develops high performing Junior & Senior Archers and are consistently achieving top ranking performance in local and national archery competitions.
We have recently been approved by Archery GB to host competitions for local and national archers.
We are currently 100% self funded through Club Membership fees, fund raising events and donations. We are keen to help grow Archery in the local area as a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages, physical abilities and fitness levels, but especially by juniors and ladies.
Unfortunately our current facilities are now holding back further development of the club and directly impacting our current members.
We have identified £10k of vital improvements that would have a huge positive impact on the club and are therefore looking for donations to help us deliver these improvements.
We are extremely grateful for any donations and wish to thank you in advance for helping us to share a genuine sport for all, that we love so much!

7 years agoOur current appeal has now been closed so that the funds raised can be transferred to us (Just Giving only transfer funds once the appeal has ended). In just under 2 weeks your generous donations raised 3,990 which enabled us to commit to keeping the club running, replace urgent beginners equipment and replace our container. We are still a little short of where we need to be so I've launched another Just Giving page. If you'd like to help and make a donation, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/IvanhoeArchers2 Many Thanks.

7 years ago18th August @ 13:12 - Since the devastation found on Tuesday morning life has been a blur of planning, responding to emails and thanks to the donations so far buying immediate equipment needed to keep our beginners course happening this weekend. Thanks to the out-pouring of support through every channel we will rebuild, we will not be beaten. This Just Giving page will run until 25th August (short term to allow us to receive donations as quickly as possible) and then I'll open up another for a further 30 days. Dave Hammond.

7 years agoThank you for the donations so far. I've added a couple of pictures of our current facilities which comprise of two very old containers which have both been broken in to previously. Your donations will be put to good use in replacing these containers to protect the equipment we've worked had to build up over the years.

Having publicised Helen Eames recent archery achievement for the county we were especially saddened to hear about the arson attack and the impact on the club. Hope this helps you come back stronger.

Heard the news via my colleague Helen Eames and wanted to contribute in some way to a worthwhile cause born from such a senseless act. Good luck getting the remaining funds.
